That's the focus of a WashPo piece this morning. Speaking about Sen. Clinton's not-so-veiled references to the "bad men" in her life, this analyst says:
"Her strategy now is to cast her image and issues in a way that gets the most support from women," McLaughlin said. "A lot of women, especially married women, can understand how she felt during that time."And, he added, "In a Democratic primary, a majority of voters will be liberals. If you're the one the conservatives dislike, it'll drive ideological liberals to you."
Okay - vote for Hillary because Bill was a cad. Got that? Could there be anything more cynical than using your husband's tawdry indiscretions to get votes?
Also, I don't get this paragraph by story author Beth Fouhy:
At the same time, she's ventured into the darker shadows of the Clinton White House years, a move that allows her to define it on her own terms for a new generation of voters.
"New generation of voters..." What? It will have been nearly eight years since the Clinton's left the White House when voters go to the polls next year. The cohort of voters who came of age in those seven years will hardly define the outcome of the election.
That's just sloppy reporting.

Not only will the "new generation of voters" not determine the outcome because there aren't that many of us, but how many of us actually vote? Voter apathy is widespread. Not me, though. I always vote.
Me too. Early and often.
